Most interested in deal advisory currently. Want to pursue IB or MBB in the future but will most likely need to wait for MBA.
Trying to decide what my best next step is. Either a MACC and CPA to stay in risk, audit, or hopefully deal advisory right away. Or do a MSF for Deal advisory and maybe even a chance at IB.
I'm concerned a MACC won't give me a good chance to enter deal advisory after graduation. I'll have to transition from audit/risk which might take a while. I'd like to enter deals right after graduation if possible.
I'm concerned the MSF isn't worth it because it's so damn expensive compared to a MACC (good target MACC for me is $15k - 20k vs. a $40k - 60k MSF). Heard it's also very dependent on being at a top 5-10 school which idk if I can get into yet. I also plan on doing an MBA and I think having both might be overkill.
Would love some insight from my fellow chimps before I commit to applying to schools.
In same situation, interested in seeing some experienced perspectives.
